Not long after, there was a knock on Liu Qiaoer's door.
The village chief came to the door on a tricycle with a young man on it and a young girl beside him.
Liu Qiaoer opened the gate and the villagers rode in on tricycles.
"Be careful. Let Comrade Lu recover in that room. I'll put him down first."
The village chief helped the young man off the tricycle. Liu Qiaoer took a glance and her heart skipped a beat. This young man looked exactly like Lu Yunzheng.
"Oh, it would be inconvenient for him to live on the second floor, so he can live on the first floor."
There was a master bedroom on the first floor, which was where the crazy woman lived in the past. Liu Qiaoer tidied it up simply, changed the bed sheets and quilt covers, and settled the young man there.
The young man came down and shook hands with Liu Qiaoer in a very graceful manner.
"Hello, my name is Lu Ming. I'd like to stay with you for a while. Sorry to bother you."
The young woman next to me said with a smile, "Auntie, my name is Wang Juan. I'm a sophomore. I'm at home during the summer vacation and volunteering in the village. Call me if you need anything."
Wang Juan was also from the village. According to seniority, she called the man surnamed Wang uncle, so Liu Qiaoer became her aunt.
Liu Qiao'er didn't argue with her: "My name is Liu Mei."
After settling Lu Ming down, the village chief left a box of instant noodles, a box of mineral water, and half a bag of flour.
Liu Qiaoer picked some grapes and gave them to the village chief: "These grapes are ripe. I can't eat them all by myself. You can take them back and let everyone taste them."
The village chief accepted it without any hesitation.
Unexpectedly, while they were accommodating the patients and talking, Wang Juan was visiting everyone like a Japanese invader in the village.
"Auntie, you live alone in such a big room. Is there any food at home?"
The first floor where Liu Qiao'er lived seemed a bit empty, with nothing else except the crazy woman's former furniture.
But there is a TV, refrigerator, sofa in the living room, and it is also very clean.
As for the other rooms, the basement floor was used to store food, with freezers and various foods, and the door was locked by her.
The second floor is Liu Qiaoer's residence. The balcony is filled with supplies. There is also a car on the third floor, and some vegetables are grown there. However, there is an iron door on the second floor, which is locked.
What Wang Juan saw was nothing, empty.
"Oh, I live alone and don't have much to eat. My mother-in-law has rice and flour at home, which is enough for one person."
There were three rooms in the yard, one for firewood, one for coal, and the other was where she stored seeds.
They were all locked.
Wang Juan looked around and found nothing, but saw four puppies. She played with them for a while. The village chief asked her to go with them, but she was a little reluctant.
"I'll stay and take care of Brother Lu. You can go back first."
Liu Qiaoer didn't like this overly lively girl from the beginning: "You'd better leave. It will rain heavily soon. I'm going to block the door."
Wang Juan looked at the weather. The sewer pipes in the village would be fine if the rain was light, as they would be exposed above the ground. But if the rain was heavy, they would flow back into the yard.
Every household has a door stopper to block water at the door, and Liu Qiaoer also prepared sandbags.
Wang Juan stood up helplessly: "Okay, then you take good care of Brother Lu. I'll send some food over in a few days."
After Liu Qiaoer sent the people away, she closed the main door and left only a small door, which was usually closed, but was locked today.
With a mobile phone, communication is convenient and there is no need to knock on the door.
He is not called the infrastructure maniac for nothing. Even though the power grid and mobile phone signal network are like this, they are still in good condition, which is already very good.
Some mobile phone signals in cities and coastal cities have stopped working, but the power grid and signal network in their villages are still working.
After seeing off the village chief and Wang Juan, Liu Qiaoer came to the bedroom on the first floor and glanced at Lu Ming.
This face does look very similar to Lu Yunzheng, but Liu Qiaoer knows that this is not her grandmother's official match, and her grandfather did not look like this when he was young.
Moreover, in ancient times, Lu Yunzheng and Princess Mingxin were an official couple, so she would not interfere.
"Would you like to take a shower? I have hot water and clean clothes."
Lu Ming scratched his head embarrassedly. Looking at the clean room and the clean bed, he felt a little embarrassed to lie down on it.
"Thank you very much."
Liu Qiaoer took out a larger pajamas. After cleaning the room, there were no more things belonging to the man surnamed Wang. What she took was the one prepared for him in ancient times from the space.
It was not used in ancient times, but I didn’t expect it to be used now.
They were using a water heater, and because his leg was broken, Liu Qiaoer put a chair for him in the bathroom.
Lu Ming's fracture was not very serious, so he did not need surgery. He was just fixed with a splint. However, Liu Qiaoer always felt that something was wrong with his leg.
Not long after, Lu Ming came out of the bathroom. After taking a shower, he felt even more refreshed.
"Thank you. I haven't had a good hot bath in over a month. This is the first time."
Liu Qiaoer nodded: "You serve the people, and I serve you. It's my duty."
Watching Lu Ming walking slowly from the bathroom to the bedroom with a cane, Liu Qiaoer suddenly said, "I'm actually a doctor. Why don't I take a look at your legs?"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up: "Do you think they didn't take good care of me? I also feel that my legs are getting more and more painful."
Liu Qiaoer asked Lu Ming to lie back on the bed, removed the protective plate, and pinched his legs.
"It's dislocated, and there are some broken bones. Just bear with it. I'll fix it for you."
Dislocation? No wonder Lu Ming's leg still hurts even after seeing the doctor. It turns out that the root cause has not been found.
Liu Qiaoer used the X-ray in the space to check, so of course she could tell the condition right away.
She just pinched the kneecap and put force on it, and the bone was straightened out. As for the fracture below, it was not a big problem, as long as she didn't do any exercise and just took care of it.
Liu Qiaoer found a wooden stick and tied him up again and explained.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
It’s not that Liu Qiaoer still has feelings for Lu Yunzheng, but Chunchun will take good care of him because Lu Ming is a soldier of the people.
"I want to eat some vegetables and rice. I don't want to eat instant noodles anymore. I've been eating instant noodles for a month and my burps smell like noodles."
Liu Qiaoer smiled slightly: "Okay."
Lu Ming was a little surprised to see that she actually agreed: "Actually, you don't have to do anything special. I'm not picky about food. As long as I'm full, that's fine."
Liu Qiaoer didn't say anything. She actually wanted to take the opportunity to eat something good.
It’s simple to eat alone. Sometimes I just make a bowl of noodles, and sometimes I just make a rice bowl.
And she doesn't like to eat too well. After all, if the smell drifts to other people's homes at this time, they will be envied.
She used the rice cooker to steam two bowls of rice, tore off a piece of hot pot base, grabbed a handful of vegetables, ham, beef, mutton, luncheon meat, tofu, tofu skin, and vermicelli, and made a pot of hot pot.
These things cannot be finished in one go. If she eats them alone, it will take her two or three days, and they will go bad if she doesn't finish them. But two people can finish them.
Liu Qiaoer just wanted to eat, and now that she had a companion for dinner, it was even better.
As soon as the dish was cooked, the aroma drifted into the bedroom. Lu Ming couldn't lie down anymore, so he came to the kitchen on crutches.
"Are you eating hot pot? It smells so good."
"Eat it. Mine is spicy, yours is not spicy, and you can add some greens."
